Rebirth of the Villainous Female Boss

Chapter 454: Chapter 428: Please Jump into the Pit

“Are you busy day and night?” Xiao Qian asked.

“But I’m not in the same city as them, can’t we think of other ways?”

“There are other ways. You stop bothering about this son of yours. He’s just got manic disorder. It’s not as serious as that. Just let him be. If he’s lucky, he’ll be hyperactive like he’s high on something, and if not, he’ll develop manic-depressive disorder. He might start having hallucinations or become overly uninhibited sexually, stripping in front of anyone he meets-”

“Stop talking!” Uncle Liu looked extremely upset.

Yet Yu Minglang seemed pensive.

Given Xiao Mei’s character, she wouldn’t make such a rash diagnosis. It wasn’t her style.

So what caused Xiao Mei to suddenly take such an action?

Yu Minglang was guessing Xiao Qian’s real intention while asking her.

“Xiao Mei, how do you think we should handle this?”

“When you have a child, you’re responsible for raising them. It’s not enough to just feed them so they won’t starve. The child isn’t mine, I’m just a doctor. It’s not up to me how you handle this, but I’m telling you, if you don’t look after this child, it’s over. You figure it out—does my job require me to be on duty every day? Is Qiang City very far from here?”

Xiao Qian said all she had to say and hung up.

After hanging up, she breathed a long sigh of relief. As a professional psychologist, this was the first time she had tried to scare someone. She wasn’t sure whether Yu Xiaoqiang had noticed any flaws. Xiao Qian always felt that Xiaoqiang was a very strong man, who could see through many things at first glance.

Uncle Liu was lost in the situation. What Xiao Qian said was about his child, so he would be scared and wouldn’t have the time to think of other things.

After hanging up the phone, Xiao Qian felt a bit guilty again.

The teacher despised tricks like psychologists scaring their patients. She really put down a lot of blood for the reconciliation of the teacher couple today.

When Liu Li called and stuttered that he might be sick, Xiao Qian immediately understood.

This boy was trying to stir up trouble.

Xiao Qian was not a novice. She was a doctor with many years of clinical experience. She could judge whether someone was sick or not. If she couldn’t tell at once, she could make a rough estimate. Liu Li was still far from having manic disorder. There was only one reason this boy would say such a thing.

And this reason was also what Xiao Qian wanted to see, so she took advantage of the situation.

After receiving Xiao Qian’s call, Uncle Liu remained silent for a long time.

After Yu Minglang thought for a few minutes, he seemed to have some understanding.

Seeing Uncle Liu looking tired, Yu Minglang passed him a drink. Uncle Liu undid two buttons of his shirt and took a big gulp, but the irritations in his heart were difficult to dispel.

The eldest son was already gone, and the second one was like this. No wonder Xiao Liu resented him. As a man, a father, a husband, he may have lived up to his country, but not necessarily his family.

Yu Minglang began to speak. freёweɓnovel.com

“Actually, Uncle, there’s something I don’t know if I should say or not.”

“When did you start hesitating before speaking? Forget it, don’t say it. I’m sure you’re not going to say anything good.” Uncle Liu said listlessly.

He felt that Xiao Qian’s phone call had almost blown him up.

“Even if you don’t let me talk, I’m going to say it. Uncle, Brother Shuang’s incident was a tragedy caused by uncontrollable forces. As for Li’s situation, there is room for negotiation. From a philosophical point of view, if we handle a bad situation well, it can turn into a good one. Why not take this as an opportunity?”

“The son is sick, I– what opportunity?”

“You and Auntie Liu have been a loving couple for so many years, and it’s not possible that there are no feelings between you. Just because you were upset over Brother Shuang’s incident and you divorced. Now that little brother Li is ‘sick’, why can’t you take this opportunity to reconcile with Auntie Liu and remarry? For the sake of the child, she can’t say no.”

“Remarry?!” Uncle Liu instantly became alert, but just thinking about Professor Liu’s tough demeanor made him nervous again, and he slumped back down, “She won’t agree.”

“You’ve been married for so many years, and don’t have any significant conflicts. If it weren’t for Brother Shuang’s death, you would still be the best couple. Now if we handle little brother Li’s illness well, it will be turning negatives into positives. Auntie Liu, for the sake of the child, she won’t say no.”

The child was always the weak spot in parents’ hearts. Yu Minglang and Xiao Qian could see that this old couple had spent half their lives together, and there were no fundamental conflicts. It was just the death of their child that they couldn’t let go of. They chose to divorce in grief, mainly to avoid thinking about their deceased eldest son when they saw each other.

Professor Liu was really inconsolable at the beginning. She said harsh words, and Uncle Liu, feeling guilty and unable to express his feelings, could only agree to the divorce. Now that there’s such a good opportunity, if they could reunite and face the storm together, it would allow these two parents, who were both carrying guilt in their hearts and bearing deep wounds, to stop hurting, at least, unlike in the past, they wouldn’t feel heartbroken and blame themselves for each other.

Yu Minglang’s words seemed to light a lamp in Uncle Liu’s heart, and he stood up, pacing anxiously around the room.

For people their age, love may not be enough to describe their feelings for each other. It’s a kind of kinship that goes beyond love; they have spent half their lives together, and brought two children to this world. After so many years together, how could they let go that easily?

But thinking about Professor Liu’s temper… Uncle Liu was very interested in Minglang’s suggestion, but also afraid that it would agitate Professor Liu and cause her heart disease to act up.

“For the sake of the child, everything is for the child! Uncle, if you are willing, let me and Xiao Qian sort things out with Auntie Liu, how does that sound?”

“Don’t agitate your Aunt Liu, she’s not in good health. Actually, however it turns out… it doesn’t matter.”

Yu Minglang thought to himself, like hell it doesn’t matter to you, leader! You’re just pretending!

But on the surface, he agreed, “That’s right, all for the sake of the child, for the child!”

If he let go a little bit, this matter would be settled.

After scaring Uncle Liu, Xiao Qian was afraid her teacher would find out later and blame her, so she pretended nothing had happened and returned to the ward. The teacher was still awake, and Xiao Qian asked.

“Teacher, as a senior psychologist, can you answer a question for me?” She asked in a modest tone.

“What don’t you know?” After the hugging and crying session just now, Professor Liu saw Xiao Qian in a different light, and felt a kind of motherly affection for her.

“Well… I know, as a professional psychologist, we should uphold the principle of not lying to patients and their families. But sometimes, there are so many coincidences in the world. Don’t you think so, teacher? If I tell a little white lie for the good of the patient, would it be considered unethical?”

She’s digging a trap. Teacher, please jump in it~~
